TESTIMONIALS from former HoopSeen staffers

“My decision to work with HoopSeen.com was the best decision I have made in my young career. As a small college basketball player, I knew wholeheartedly that I wanted to break into the coaching ranks but I was not sure how. My coaching contacts were minimal, but I knew that I would do whatever it took to make my dream a reality…There is no price that can be put on the things that I have learned while working at HoopSeen. Not to mention the various contacts that I have made through HoopSeen. This is a no-brainer for anybody looking to break into the industry. People not only leave HoopSeen with the knowledge to excel in their field, but they leave with jobs!” - Jalen Butler, Columbus State assistant coach 

“Working for HoopSeen was a completely invaluable experience for me. When I joined their team in Spring 2014, the biggest things that stood out was the quality of people you work with. Justin Young, Eric Eleton, and Mike Eddy are phenomenal people to work alongside. They empower you to really find your own voice in evaluating players, networking, and assisting in running events. Without a doubt, my 15 months with HoopSeen was certainly beneficial when I was hired to work on an SEC staff. HoopSeen allows you to stay in the game and see players more frequently than many college coaches are ever could in the offseason. HoopSeen is the gold standard for high school and grassroots basketball in the state of Georgia and potentially the entire Southeast. I would work for them again without ever giving it a second thought.” - Kory Keys, former Ole Miss Graduate Assistant
